# Aider chat conversation:
USER: you are dialing r.relpServerURL directly. this is incorrect as the variable contains a URL, not a bare host:port. please parse the url, ensure the scheme is tcp, and extract the host and port for connection.
ASSISTANT: To correct the dialing of the RELP server, we need to modify the `connectToRELPServer` method in the `relp_handler.go` file:
1. Parse the URL.
2. Check if the scheme is "tcp".
3. Extract the host and port for connection.
Here is the *SEARCH/REPLACE* block:
relp_handler.go
```go
<<<<<<< SEARCH
func (r *RELPHandler) connectToRELPServer() (net.Conn, error) {
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", r.relpServerURL)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return conn, nil
}
=======
func (r *RELPHandler) connectToRELPServer() (net.Conn, error) {
parsedURL, err := url.Parse(r.relpServerURL)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("Error parsing RELP URL: %v", err)
}
if parsedURL.Scheme != "tcp" {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("RELP URL must have the tcp scheme, got %s", parsedURL.Scheme)
}
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", parsedURL.Host)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return conn, nil
}

```
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: ../relp_handler.go:71:18: r.connectToRELPServer undefined (type *RELPHandler has no field or method connectToRELPServer)
ASSISTANT: It seems like the `connectToRELPServer` method is missing in the `RELPHandler` struct. Let's add this method.
Here is the *SEARCH/REPLACE* block:
relp_handler.go
```go
<<<<<<< SEARCH
func (r *RELPHandler) Startup() error {
var err error
r.conn, err = r.connectToRELPServer()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("Failed to establish TCP connection: %v", err)
}
go r.receiveEventsFromChannel()
go r.processFailedEvents()
go r.watchDirectoryForFailedEventFiles()
return nil
}
=======
func (r *RELPHandler) connectToRELPServer() (net.Conn, error) {
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", r.relpServerURL)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return conn, nil
}
func (r *RELPHandler) Startup() error {
var err error
r.conn, err = r.connectToRELPServer()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("Failed to establish TCP connection: %v", err)
}
go r.receiveEventsFromChannel()
go r.processFailedEvents()
go r.watchDirectoryForFailedEventFiles()
return nil
}
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
This block adds the `connectToRELPServer` method which establishes a TCP connection to the RELP server and returns the connection.
